It’s been 36 days since Mueller’s report became public. Dems have spent that time fighting about redactions, executive privilege and hearing formats.
Now they say it’s time to focus on the damaging stuff Mueller found: politico.com/story/2019/05/…

This is a danger sign. Barr, who is willing to use criminal investigations as political tools, can now decide to selectively release classified information to further the WH’s false narrative. But he won’t file a motion asking a judge to turnover grand jury material to Congress twitter.com/justinjm1/stat…

You are going to see every First Amendment supporter in this country, left, right and center, swallow their feelings about this particular human and denounce what the Trump administration is trying to do here. Because it would fundamentally change the United States of America. pic.twitter.com/8IEoyqO8Vb

Robert Mueller "wants to testify in private," @RepJerryNadler tells @maddow. "He's willing to make an opening statement, but he wants to testify in private."
Asked if the American people would see a record, the congressman says, "We'd see a transcript. We'd see a transcript."

Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler tells @maddow that Robert Mueller wants to testify in private. "He's willing to make an opening statement, but he wants to testify in private." Nadler adds that the public would see a transcript of Mueller's testimony if that happens.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, who would be in charge of launching impeachment, confirms WaPo report that he is leaning on Pelosi:
“I urged the speaker to speed things up and consider an impeachment inquiry.”
(Via @maddow)

House Democrats fundamentally misunderstand what they are up against. While they’re dithering over whether to impeach Trump for crimes we know he committed, Trump is weaponizing the entire Executive branch to invent criminal charges against his enemies. nytimes.com/2019/05/23/us/…

Whoa. So Barr has the sole authority to declassify info related to the Trump investigation over the objections of the original classifying authority - CIA, NSA, etc. A huge accumulation of power and discretion to the AG that I believe is unprecedented. twitter.com/aaronblake/sta…

While Trump stonewalls the public from learning the truth about his obstruction of justice,
Trump and Barr conspire to weaponize law enforcement and classified information against their political enemies.
The coverup has entered a new and dangerous phase.
This is un-American.
